My name is Omarly and I am currently a student at Perth Amboy High School. In this page you will get to know my passions, which are all focused on serving others through my creativity. In other words, I'm focused on making an impact in at least a person's life through my passions, and the assets that have been endowed to me. When it comes to Music, Photography, and Video Making, I am passionate about using them as my mediums to make and share valuable creations with others. I understand that I can influence people simply by taking a camera or a mic, which is what I want to accomplish by carrying a message that shines light into people's lives. My mission is to both serve and love people & God through my passions and dreams.

I was born and raised in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic until the age of 8 years old, when my family and I immigrated to the United States. At first, everything was super challenging since my family and I were still adapting to a new country that almost felt like a whole new other world. Nonetheless, from the moment I set foot in my school, I was determined to succeed and be the best version of myself. I learned English in just three years, was passed onto English speaking honor classes, became involved with many clubs, and came home with many honorary titles that would set me up for success. My life changed for the better.
By the age of 11, in middle school, my love for music and expressing my ideas through creativity and different art forms grew. Hence, in High School I became very involved with many music groups in both school and region levels. I was also gifted my first ever camera as a birthday gift, in which I have a lot of content in, both pictures and videos, all ready to be put out to the world, as I plant to start a YouTube Channel and other social media accounts. Overall, I've been very blessed through the different assets I've had to increase my abilities. It takes time and effort to grow, and I am up for this challenge.
My love for music began when I noticed the big impact one song can make in someone's life. I saw how music was a tool in my life to make memories, unwind, and heal.
Music serves as a powerful storytelling tool and I want to master this in my life. It helps me express what I can’t articulate otherwise.
The mere observation of the impact artists have musically and culturally inspires me to follow a path that allows me to do the same and shine my light.
I want to have a platform that allows me to reach people and be authentic about life overall. I want to be able to express ideas through art, which music allows me to do.
In simple terms I LOVE using cameras, filming, and editing. It is soothing and something I see myself doing even if it is for free.
I love photography because it is my gateway for keeping memories. I'm someone that highly values memories and being in the moment, and life has taught me how incredibly valuable this is. Any time I look back at the pictures I have of the past and I look at others brighten up, I'm filled with warmth and say to myself "what if I would've let my fear overtake me and had never taken that picture?"
I love video making because it allows me to tell stories and express my creativity through symbolic and direct ways.
I want to use the asset of video making for expressing messages of Faith, hope, and the complexity of life. My inspiration for this vision is seeing how the TV series, "The Chosen" grew unexpectedly, in a way that millions were reached with the show. I want to expand this type of media based on messages of value that add to people's lives.
While entertaining is a great aspect of using cameras, I want to use this passion of mine to add meaningful lessons and impact people's lives.
